Printing

Field 752 prints as an access point and a tracing. It prints in uppercase and lowercase as entered or as determined by your profile for 7xx fields. The print program supplies a dash ( -- ) between data in each subfield and a period at the end of the added entry access point or tracing, unless final punctuation ( . ! ? ) is present. The heading sorts into the same receiving catalog as field 710. Multiple tracings print in order of appearance in the record. In the tracing position, the print program supplies Place: after the appropriate Roman numeral. Subfield ‡2 does not print.
